After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

78 – Sharon Pierce hasn’t given up yet.

Unlike her other siblings who were excited to welcome her guests, Sharon Pierce quietly headed to the training ground.

The word is a social church.

On the first day, a banquet is held for guests who have come a long way.

From the second day, a full-fledged sparring between the promising late-stage exponents of each family begins.

Befitting its northern name, this is a place to strengthen social relations with the sword.

That is the social church of the Northern Grand Duke.

If it were Sharon’s personality, she would have just ignored it and moved on.

However, she overheard the matriarch’s conversation.

“… That guy is coming.”

Sharon bit her lower lip as she opened the door to her training room.

Ian Black Angus.

The child is coming here.

I have no idea why she is coming, but…

– Kkdeuk

From the bitten lip, the bitter scent of blood spread into my mouth.

Compared to the sense of defeat I felt because of Ian, the pain is really nothing.

He made him experience a different kind of defeat than when he was trampled on within his own family.

To think that it was inevitable that she could not resist the indignities suffered by her family.

What Ian suffered was a defeat purely due to his own ability.

“Because I looked down on him…”

Because he was from the regular magic department, not from Ether, because his attitude towards himself was servile, and because he had a bad reputation…

I looked down on Ian.

He underestimated the fact that what caused him to suffer through a subtle growth-blocking curse was simply his accidental mastery of black magic.

The price was painful.

Sharon’s own growth was crushed, she was virtually defeated in her disciplinary committee, and she was completely defeated in her grading ceremony.

Time was needed to reorganize.

She escaped the academy as if she was running away.

And I was able to come to a conclusion.

Ian Black Angus says he is stronger and more scheming than he thought.

If she thought about it carefully, she may have secretly placed a curse that hindered her growth from the beginning as part of her plan to oppress herself.

“Sneaky bastard…”

A mumble that was not like her flowed from Sharon’s mouth.

There must be some bad things behind Ian Black Angus. The black magic he unleashed. It is clear that it is related to one of the ‘Thirteen Evils’, thirteen groups that cause harm to the empire.

“Maybe with Shaleam Bridge….”

You should also keep in mind the possibility that she is related to the Shaleam Church, which she hates.

That kind of person comes here this time.

He will have to be on guard and on guard again.

“…No.”

Is it rather an opportunity?

Sharon held her sword.

And swung at her wood carving.

“……”

It is quiet.

There was only a brief flash of blue light, and not even the usual impact sound was heard.

But after a while.

— Blah blah blah!

Frozen fragments falling into small pieces.

If Ian Black Angus was stronger than she expected, it would be enough if he became stronger than her again.

“… We will capture them, torture them, and hear the truth.”

Sharon knows that there is no place to run to. She just needed a chance to catch her breath for a moment.

Sharon held the sword again.

As her mother said, Sharon herself knows that only she must hold the sword.

She approached and stood in front of the next wooden sculpture.

The moment to swing the sword again.

“He’s hiding in a place like this.”

Sharon turned her head toward the sound of her words.

The blue-eyed man opened his mouth.

Disgusting eyes, as if looking at an insect.

The first child of the family. Herman Pierce.

“I’m sure they would have told me to just breathe as if it wasn’t there.”

Befitting a son of the Pierce family, his blue eyes shone.

Sharon reflexively held her breath.

This is because her body remembers the things he has done to her since she was a child.

“I guess that’s the new sword I received from my father.”

Sharon hid her sword behind her.

“Is it really okay to hide it like that? Where did something so lowly come in and destroy the family’s wealth?”

“… It’s none of your business.”

“Hoo. Now that you’ve grown up, you’re rebelling.”

Jeobbuk. Jerk.

Hermann Pierce slowly walked towards her.

“It was only out of pity that your father gave you that sword. You don’t know the subject.”

A distance that seems to touch each other.

Hermann’s military boots were placed on top of Sharon’s feet.

“… Ugh.”

“Don’t call me you. I’m not even your brother. Since your mother was a commoner and a concubine, she would be closer to a master and servant.”

– Cough. Coo.

Sharon bit her lip in pain as her claws broke.

Hermann’s eyes relaxed as if he felt refreshed.

“Now you look a bit like a child of a concubine.”

“…….”

“Now that I think about it, I was kicked out of the Academy for doing crazy things, right?”

“…It came out on its own.”

“You’re proud. You’ve tarnished your family’s name.”

Her blood flowed from Sharon’s trembling fists.

Hermann’s blue eyes, staring at that, contained a sneer.

“Bad b*tch.”

With those words, Hermann left.

— Bang

The door was badly damaged.

Sharon took out her bandage and wrapped it around her foot, as if she was used to it.

With her blood flowing hands, Sharon held her sword again.

Ari feels cold at her wounds.

But it’s okay.

I was used to the cold.

She had not felt her warmth since she was a child and was held in her mother’s arms.

— Sharon. We can become happy only when snow flowers bloom. Whatever happens, don’t let go of her sword. I’m sorry for having to be born to a mother like this.

Her last words with her mother are still vivid.

Her mother always hoped to be recognized by the head of the family, so that would be happiness.

Then… ….

She just does her best for it.

– Seokgeuk

Sharon’s sword cut through the air.

As of now, there was only cold frost.

◆

Lakhti, a key city in the north.

When I got off the train and came out of the platform, the carriage prepared by the princess was waiting.

The carriage was so flashy that it made you squint your eyes.

Karen seemed familiar and got straight into the carriage, but…

“It’s so dazzling!”

“W-what kind of jewels are there so many!”

Everyone else who was truly dazzled had to get into the carriage with their eyes narrowed.

The inside of the carriage was long and wide, like a limousine.

However, a few unusual instruments and chairs caught my eye.

“Why is there a swing on the carriage?”

Lina’s face actually turned red at Daanya’s vulgar question.

“Hey, it’s over there.”

Lina called Danya with a gesture of her hand and whispered in her ear.

Whisper whisper.

“Ugh!”

Danya, her face red, calmly sat down.

Ian relaxed his body against her on the sofa.

“… It’s just an interior design.”

Karen opened her mouth to Ian.

Ian quietly nodded her head.

＜ Luxury + Lust = Princess Golbin ＞

The image that Third Princess Asteria pursues externally is made up of such an equation. Her method is to pretend to be indulging in luxury and luxury and quietly make up for what she lacks.

Of course, the words are simple.

However, acting in a situation where the older royal family members are competing for succession rights is not that easy.

Probably all the carriages she owns or rents have interiors like this.

Of course, Ian knows Asteria’s original personality. She may have never used these devices before. She was therefore able to naturally accept that she was like this.

‘It’s not that serious.’

Rather, I am worried about Lina, who is squinting at her leash or rope hanging on the wall.

‘What. It must be your taste.’

Rather, what I was curious about right now was Karen.

Karen asked, narrowing her eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…….”

From noble mtl dot com

“If you have any questions, please let me know.”

“…It’s nothing special.”

“Well, of course I haven’t tried it either.”

What is this woman talking about out of nowhere?

Ian looked at Karen with a questioning expression.

Karen somewhat misunderstood that expression.

“Of course, I have experience. Well, to this extent, I am also familiar with this through numerous experiences, but um, should I say it doesn’t suit my taste?”

“Karen seems to be quite loyal to the princess.”

“Ah.”

Karen closed her eyes tightly.

When she opened her eyes again, her normal expression (like an assassin without any emotions) returned.

My cheeks are still red.

“We are making every effort for our clients.”

“Then, if I give you money, will you be loyal to me? Hmm. The expression on your face is a sufficient answer.”

Karen’s eyes full of murder.

With that, Ian was sure.

Karen is also an assassin belonging to the Black Cat Order.

She is one of the three major assassination groups in the Empire.

They seek money, not loyalty.

I was a little curious about what happened between the two.

— “The Third Princess is having a carriage!”

The carriage finally arrived at its destination.

When the Duke’s door opens, voices are heard through the carriage.

– Oh my. This is the 3rd princess’s carriage.

– Who will be on board this time?

– If he were a handsome man like last time, it would be nice and eye candy.

It seemed like nobles were already chatting in groups in the banquet hall set up outdoors on a snow field.

[ At first, a lot of attention will be focused on you Ian. As always with the princess’s man. ]

Karen’s voice rang directly in my head.

Jeonum, the art of assassins who can secretly transmit their voices without anyone noticing.

We all gathered together and developed a plan, but Karen started briefing once again to get used to the sound.

[Until Miss Lina catches people’s attention as we planned, please be careful how you behave.]

Lina winked at Ian with a V sign.

[ Activities begin in earnest from the match that begins on the second day. Please forget about your goal of collecting evidence for the family for today. You have to deceive yourself to be able to deceive others. ]

Ian nodded lightly.

— Grumbling

The carriage door opened and Ian got out of the carriage.

Gazes pouring in at the same time.

– “It looks like the princess didn’t choose her based on her face this time. She doesn’t make a good impression.”

– “Oh my Lady Yuri, men like that who look tired and have a sharp look are popular these days.”

– “I don’t know if I wear proper clothes instead of travel clothes.”

– “Is a face everything to a man? On the contrary, since the princess has met all kinds of men, she will now choose someone who is strong on the inside. hehehe.”

All the nobles in the banquet hall offered their help.

Some people were amazed, while others were half ridiculed.

Whether it was positive or negative, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became quite heated thanks to Ian’s appearance.

“I don’t know how to thank you as the host of this banquet for brightening the guests’ mood so much.”

Ian turned his head towards the voice.

There was a person who looked like a male version of Sharon.

Tall height. Cold eyes.

However, he was also a coldly handsome man who could make a pretty cool smile that made several noble ladies gasp and forget their face.

“This is Hermann Pierce.”

A knight who is the eldest son of a duke and is already making a name for himself.

The mid-boss of Chapter 2, ‘eldest son Herman Pierce’, extended his hand.
